1. What is the main idea of the paper? (you can get much information on this from the abstract and introduction) This paper is on the different types of strokes of Chinese characters.
2. What experiment, if any, was performed? The experiment was to see if any Chinese wrote their characters with the same strokes.
3. Was the experiment (or, if one was not performed, the data presented) GS or BS? That is, was there a large sample size, a cause-and-effect relationship, etc. there was a large sample size, it was 372 people.
4. What did the authors determine about forensic graphology?
The same tools used to fgure out who wrote what in english are used in China too. Also, no person wrote their strokes the same way.
5. Name at least five interesting facts from the paper that you think the rest of the class might appreciate.
1. There are 61 common Chinese Characters
2. There are 8 basic strokes in Chinese handwriting (dot, horizontal, vertical, slash, sabre, angular, hook, and tick)
3. Out of all the subjects, not one person did their strokes the same.
4. The placement of the stroke is crucial.
5. All basic strokes, with the exception of the tick, are written in a descending
manner from top to bottom, left to right, and periphery to center.
